DirecTV has begun informing viewers that they may lose the News-Press & Gazette Company's stations if a new agreement isn't reached by 9am on Wednesday, when their current contract expires.

But in my honest opinion, considering how last night's game went for the Cardinals, I think it would've been better if it was still blacked out.
